2006 Conclass Rueda

$10 at McCarthy and Schiering. This is the second Rueda I've tried since reading Eric Asimov's NY Times article (the 2006 Naia is the other).

Asimov chose the the Conclass as his best buy, and I totally agree; it's a steal at $10. Jenny described it as floral, and I get the mineraly quality that I really like in old world whites. I just looked up Asimov's description and was pleased to find that we agreed on two of four descriptors. He says, "Vivacious with enticing lemon, floral and mineral flavors and a touch of honey." Maybe I've got a future as a pro wine writer?

I think I've found this summer's Gruner-Veltliner.
